A Letter To My Roommate, After Sophomore Year

To My Roommate,

Thank you for putting up with yours truly. I know it can't be easy because I'm crazy, weird, come up with some strange topics to talk about, or randomly break into song (which is most of the time). I don't know how you have done it for two years already and how you are gonna do it for another. I guess being best friends is what makes it easier.

We have been best friends for 10 years. 10 years! That's crazy. Amazing but crazy. We have so many memories and so many laughable moments that we had to create quote books of each other. I have loved every single part of it. I remember telling people that I was gonna be living with you and everyone said, "You're gonna hate each other after a month." Well, two years as roommates and were still going strong.

We have developed habits that have benefitted us both and we work like a well-oiled machine. Although, now it's starting to get weird that we know exactly what the other is thinking or we want the same thing, like craving the same thing. But it is funny what happens when you spend so much of your time with another person.

I don't know how I would have gotten through these two years without you. People always say to make your friends when you are in college but it's nice to navigate those waters with someone in your corner. Like literally in your corner because they are going through the same thing. I love that we have been able to adapt to each other and let each other figure out what they need to do or what they want to do. Thank you for putting up with me coming in late at what seems like all hours of the night. I have loved being about to navigate college with my best friend.

You are so kind, honest, loving, smart, beautiful and sweet. If I had to do this all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. We may get on each other's nerves from time to time (even if we don't know it) but it's with love. We are always there for each other, the good, the bad, and the ugly (see me spring semester 2018-math). Thank you for being in my life and letting me be the crazy, always singing, wacko that I am.

Love you,

Maddie

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
